Kendall Valenzuela said Chris Rodriguez should be scooped off waivers because Washington just dealt Brian Robinson Jr. to San Francisco and immediately singled Rodriguez out for goal-line duties in the second preseason game. On only 34 carries last year Rodriguez registered a 74 % success rate, a metric The Athletic highlighted as elite. Valenzuela expects the Commanders to lean on Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt and Rodriguez for early-down and short-yardage work, giving Rodriguez weekly touchdown upside that is almost never available in a back who is only 6 % rostered on Yahoo.
